clean miss

Just couldn't resist Black Friday at HL Supply. So now my big saw went from a Dolmar 7900 to a Husky 592xp. Most of my cutting is in red and white oaks. The Dolmar with a 28" bar could use a little more oomph. Holy Moley, that husky has power to spare, lots in fact.
Which brings me to my question. If I am bucking 16" or less diameter hardwood, the saw is constantly hitting the rev limiter, isn't this wasting available power? Would I not be better off using a 8 pin sprocket? The saw only has 3 tanks of fuel thru it so it should be broken in now. I have noticed on the u tube videos when the saws are being compared to say a 395 that the 592 is hitting the limiter then as well. I would think the 8 pin would use more of the available HP. Or is this a good way to burn up a bar and chain from lack of oil or the piston from overheating? I do cut a sizeable number of 24"+ rounds with it as well, all hardwood.
